Near the top of the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/kheader is a section that
looks like:
: ${HEADERFILE:=/boot/kernel.h}
[ -d $(dirname $HEADERFILE) ] || exit 0
uname -r|grep -q mdk || exit # we assume if it is not a mdk kernel all
That third line in there (uname . . .) should have a 0 after the exit.
As I said earlier, Chmouel has corrected this in newer initscripts rpms
(undoubtedly the one available via MandrakeUpdate has a patched
version), but just inserting the zero should fix you right up :)
